I was wondering how do I go about learning app development and design. I have a strong urge to learn more about this area. I have many ideas for app development and I want to turn these ideas into reality. How do I go about learning this? Should I be self-taught( if so which books, websites) or should I attend a part time course? I appreciate your input. My level of skills at the moment are zero.

Right now android app development is trending while IOS is quite stagnant so I'd advise doing android app development right now. A major language is java however there's a new language that I can't quite remember the name of, however its not super used. In the grand scheme of things java isn't too hard to learn and is a commonly taught CS language so there's plenty of online tutorials. I'd advise self teaching yourself, there are plenty of books to choose from so just go with whatever seems to suit your learning style. Moreover there are also plenty of free YouTube tutorials and cheap udemy courses if you're willing to pay a little. But I'd advise jumping in, learning the basics then just building apps and learning as you go. Once you've built a portfolio of a few apps you can easily freelance from there

okay, thank you for your help can I start right away with Java or do I need to learn some other languages prior to this? Will I need high level maths to progress?

If you want to learn about writing Android apps, have a look at Google's free online courses for Android development:
- Start Here: https://eu.udacity.com/course/androi...terface--ud834
- Then: https://eu.udacity.com/course/new-an...mentals--ud851
These start out assuming zero previous experience/knowledge, so you should be able to jump right in, although you will need to download and install some tools to get started.
